Week One Hundred and Forty-Eight

When Zeeke makes a suggestion lately, he likes to punctuate it with "Is that a great idea?" (emphasis  always on "great") such as in "We should have a playdate with Zoe.  Is that great idea?" or "We should make cookies.  Is that great idea?"

His drawing has really been coming along and he even decided to write his name this week.  As you can see in the picture, the letters aren't quite in any order, but they're all there!

Saturday, Zeeke had a great music class with hardly any shyness.  After class, Steve & Zeeke went to the library to visit Karen.  Zeeke enjoyed having some computer time, picked out his own books, and was very interested in the sculptures of African animals.  

Sunday morning, Steve & Zeeke went to the playground, which was still thawing out.  They cleared all the ice off the jungle gyms, colored in some bricks, and then did the slides and swings on the big kid side of the playground.   After his nap, Steve, Karen & Zeeke went to Pop Pop and Gigi's house for dinner and a walk through their rapidly melting snowy landscape.

Conversations with Zeeke:

Eating his toast:
"Will eating crusts make my hair curly?"
"I don't know. Who told you that?"
"The Crusty Queen."
"Who's the Crusty Queen?"
"She has crumbs and butter on her clothes from eating peanut butter chocolate covered toast."
